BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Skull base defects can result in CSF leaks, with meningitis
as a potential complication. Surgeons are now routinely repairing these leaks via a nasal …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiologic evaluation of CSF leaks is a diagnostic
challenge that often involves multiple imaging studies with the associated expense and …

Background Endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks is a well-established
procedure. The radiological workup and use of intraoperative image guidance (IGS), lumbar …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak occurs due to a defect in the dura and skull base. Trauma
remains the most common cause of CSF leak; however, a significant number of cases are …

Objective: The objectives of the study were to evaluate the clinical characteristics of
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and determine the clinical parameters affecting endoscopic …

Purpose Most cases of non-traumatic nasal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks occur
spontaneously without any obvious reason. Severe and life-threatening complications are …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak occurs when there is an osseous and dural defect at the skull
base, with direct communication of the subarachnoid space to the extracranial space …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Defects at the skull base leading to spontaneous CSF
rhinorrhea are rare lesions. The purpose of our study was to correlate CT and MR findings …

Spontaneous nasal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks likely represent a distinct clinical entity in
which CSF rhinorrhea occurs in the absence of any inciting event. Historically, the term …

Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks located within the frontal sinus can be difficult
to repair effectively. Additional challenges arise from the need to simultaneously repair the …
